Can I get tokens for playing games?

[fernandoaleixo]

I wanna know if there are services that give you tokens in exchange of playing and being active on their game? Any information is welcome, thanks!

The Refereum project (https://refereum.com) is somehow involved in playing games and receiving rewards. Try it

Maybe this site will help you: https://hackernoon.com/the-emergence-of-skill-based-crypto-gaming-and-icos-b802ff39ff52
They have some recommendations on games for this type of thing, and a few might be useful.

Cheers!

Probably not directly receive tokens, but you can play most MMORPGs that has black markets, as most of those games' currencies has good value. For example, RuneScape(OSRS)'s gold is sort of like $.80/1million. You then can easily sell that money on the markets for crypto. In the end you'd end up with the same goal, having more crypto.

Thanks, everyone for the links! But some of them it seems you don't earn rewards in crypto but something else, or am I wrong? I really love the idea of earning for playing, I hope in the future if my kid ever gets crazy over games like I am now, at least he will do that while he receives! I'm also planning on buying an ASIC for him so when he hits 18 old he will have his own finances to take care of.

Do you think that will be a trend? I've seen other old games (Ragnarok,Cabal) doing the same thing! If a game ever pay us in crypto, how they work exactly I wonder... You just received by playing or the game tries to "use your computer to mine" while you play?... When I think about playing to receive crypto, that's what comes into my mind.

Like games that use cryptocurrency as tokens, there should be many, many, many casinos that use tokens as chips. In fact, games are the same as gambling, so playing games is not as straightforward as going to casinos. Personally, I think.

There is an advertisement for the casino on this page, perhaps you can go and see.

I think I have come across that, you have to do much research and you will find they right game company that pays

I have played simple farming type games in exchange for small amounts of BTC, but my experience is that for the most part they are scams, rarely actually pay out, and often close their doors or change the rules, so I've determined it's really not worth the effort. I have one or two computer games I enjoy playing and they don't pay but I'm playing for the enjoyment of a high quality game.

I think in general the way to earn through playing games is to connect with a project that has something to do with crypto and gaming and see if they offer a bounty for testing a platform. I know there are quite a few projects like that. You'll have to look around at announcement threads on this forum and then network with the people involved and see what's available. Sometimes bounties get announced. Sometimes you just have to work out your own deal.
